About Me

I believe respect is the answer for moral world through the unity of all the races in the field of arts. Together, with mutual respect for our difference, we can create a world filled with empathy for one another. Red, Yellow, Black, and White our hearts all beat in same rhythm for peace and a better life, in arts.

The Caspian Arts Foundation, a London-based non-profit
organisation, has awarded its inaugural education scholarship prize, enabling a
Middle Eastern student to pursue a postgraduate course at the University of the
Arts London. The award winner is Bisan Abu-Eisheh, who obtained his
undergraduate degree at the International Academy of Art in Palestine.

A charity auction held last October at Christie’s Dubai raised more than
$180,000 for the scholarships. Other fundraising events planned this year
include a panel discussion at Sotheby's London
on 23 January.

A spokeswoman for the foundation says: “The aim is to
invite potential sponsors with interests in the Middle East and North Africa, for them to learn more about art in the
region and the foundation.”

The Caspian Arts Foundation was established last year by
Nina Mahdavi, a former consultant in property portfolio investment and
management.
